    Mangum...........

    puts himself in a hole every at bat. I can't remember the last time he didn't swing at a bad pitch on first pitch.

    It’s gotten to the point where the pitchers don’t have to pitch to him anymore. He’s free swinging every time and isn’t getting good contact

    And we all know he is better than that. If he worked the count and made them come to him, he would be almost impossible to get out.

    And this is the first stretch he’s done this? It’s maddening that the upcoming hit leader in the SEC doesn’t know how to approach the game while at the plate.

    And the shitty hitting continues. This guy going for Ole Miss sucks and he is blanking us like the Arkansas QB did on Saturday. 1-0 Ole Miss in bottom of the 3rd.

    Are y’all at the game? Because if not you don’t know shit about the quality of pitching or the swings of batters based on a radio broadcast

    A game thread is set up now so it can officially become a bitching thread. Again instead of enduring our poor players and coaches we can save money by hiring the experts we have here. We save money to use on other sports or better yet employ them in all sports. We have a few with answers to everything because no way a team should ever lose to any of the weak ass teams. Cmon Cohen save us so we never go through this again

    I’m far from any expert what so ever, however I am able to make observations about how our lead off hitter is pressing at the current moment and swinging at the first pitch at a lot of his at bats.

    Probably because he has a record that is in front of him. Dude has to have got a lot on him mentally. He sets the record and shit changes. He didn’t get here by being bad but he has to be pressing due to the record

    No, you're right. MFer should be batting .500!!***. I mean the soon-to-be all-time SEC hit leader could use a few tips from a keyboard cowboy who maybe went 3-3 in a T-ball game once.

    He is 1-3 with a walk tonight and he is batting about .385 on the year. He has been swinging at the first pitch for 4 years.

    He's done it for four years. It's not new.

    True. But he doesn't have a walk tonight. He has one hbp and 1-3

    Sorry I misread the stats. Either way, he has an obp of .500 so I do not know what the big deal is considering it is what he has done for his entire career. Batting .430 or whatever he was hitting is not sustainable. He is fine.

    500 obp. Not bad for a guy chasing a record. Seriously not being a smart add but I think until the record is broken he will press. Got to be a lot of pressure. I honestly don’t know but if I was in his shoes I’m thinking the baseball looks a little different. Has to be hard to battle the upcoming thoughts of that moment. When he sets it we get a different mentality from him

    Would be about .480 if he didnt swing at balls 8 inches off the plate on the first pitch.
